For each week's assigned lab work you must
print a copy of the appropriate lab guidesheet(s), shown as links below.
You must bring the guidesheet to lab; it contains the instructions you need to
do the lab work. The lab instructor (TA) will not have copies of
the guidesheet to distribute.

For week #3 in lab (Feb. 6-10)

You will spend the period constructing and studying molecular models of the
types we have been studying in class. You should use your class notes and
the textbook material about functional groups and organic molecules (Chap. 2,
3) to prepare for the lab session.

This is to be a computer assisted lab session. Bring your laptop and
its power cord to your lab session. You will be provided with a
USB Flash drive that contains the files needed to do the work. The guidesheet for this lab
has many graphics associated with it. Those graphics files will be on a USB
flash drive disk for you to copy onto your laptop when you come to lab. Reading
the guidesheet before lab will show you what you will be doing in lab.

From the USB flash drive your TA will provide in lab, you need to copy the
entire folder called "Molecular
Models"onto your laptop's C:
drive. Then within that folder double click the file called
"molmodelsNONET071.htm" to begin work.

A special cautionary note: Among the
five lab activities that are covered on the first lab exam, this is the one
that accounts for the most points lost, primarily because too many people rush
through it and do not take it seriously.

Supplementary material:After this
exercise is completed this week, a link to some online material will be posted.
That material will enable you to see and manipulate molecular models in other
ways.
